Seeing that the other party was blatantly lying, Adelaide stopped saying anything and, after issuing a death warrant, immediately launched an attack.
Large amounts of power continuously surged into this frail body through an invisible Psionic Energy connection. Within just a few seconds, the physical strength of the Blood Corpse Half-Treant had reached the peak of the Low Tier, making him virtually an untitled earl.
At the same time, as Blood Corpse of the Adelaide Lineage, [ Clear Soup Master ]'s body naturally awakened special abilities derived from the Authority the Grand Duke of Adelaide.
Just as the Grand Duke of Antos's Authority was to manipulate the flesh and blood of Blood Corpse in the entire spectrum, the Grand Duke of Adelaide's Authority was called " Absolute Punishment," and Oliver once recited a title that included the phrase "the Avengers who Absolute Punishment."
The players were naturally unaware of this information, but Ed had once infiltrated Oliver's body with his consciousness, was very clear about it.
Bennett of the Antos Lineage can mold the flesh and blood of his subordinates into equipment or weapons such as cloaks and flesh-and-blood fists, but Ed really doesn't know what the abilities related to Absolute Punishment are.
It wasn't really his fault; it was precisely because [ Clear Soup Master ] and the others fed Oliver too much organic vegetable juice that he couldn't even use his bloodline abilities and could only fight against countless Soldier Bee with his bare body.
During the last Descent, Adelaide didn't even have time to use much of her power before Oliver died completely. However, Ed still remembered that the other party only used Oliver's remains to utter the words "traitor" before almost killing several of his players on the spot.
This time, Ed wanted to see what abilities the Authority of Absolute Punishment could generate.
Adelaide, controlling the player's body, extended her right hand, pointed at Antiya Lisi, and uttered a single word as if in judgment:
" Blood Feud."
At that moment, Antiya Lisi felt himself being locked onto by a powerful, hateful force, but that force seemed to be merely watching him and could not kill him on the spot.
At the same time, he also chose to take action.
"Collapse."
Antiya Lisi silently recited a phrase in his mind and withdrew a strand of roots that Spread to the surrounding area.
The stone floor of the church above Adelaide suddenly lost its support, and huge stones rained down like hailstones.
The Twin Towers Cathedral suffered irreversible structural damage long before the two bees struck the twin bell towers.
However, to save face for the archbishop, Antiya Lisi chose to use his abilities to forcibly maintain the stability of the building, since it wouldn't be much of a drain on him anyway.
In other words, the church itself had long since become a dilapidated building, but he was the one desperately holding it up.
Now that a formidable enemy has arrived before us, there is naturally no need to hold back any longer.
The falling bricks from the dome, carrying a tremendous impact, were about to smash into Adelaide when his Tree Transformation hands suddenly lashed out, transforming into two incredibly resilient nets woven from vines and flesh.
After catching the boulder, the two nets skillfully altered its trajectory, sending it flying towards Antiya Lisi.
A few meters in front of him, Antiya Lisi slowly turned sideways, dodging the boulders flying towards him, completely unconcerned.
The thick dust drastically reduced visibility throughout the church, but at that moment, both [ Clear Soup Master ] and Ed noticed something: Antiya Lisi's body was now clearly visible through the smoke and dust—
It was a blood-red figure, and even with the dust obscuring it, every detail of its outline could still be seen. Even in the blink of an eye, the blood-red color could be seen amidst the darkness.
At this moment, Ed understood the meaning of the phrase " Blood Feud." Although he did not yet understand Adelaide's true Authority, the special ability of this body was already very clear: "Clairvoyance"!
It's open! It's definitely open!
[ Clear Soup Master ], watching from the sidelines, muttered to himself, feeling a sense of helplessness, like someone else boosting your game account only to discover they were cheating.
But since things have come to this point, and we don't plan to use this body anymore anyway, we might as well let him see just how powerful he can become with cheat codes.
The battle inside the church continued, Antiya Lisi remained in a state of complete control against the Low Tier enemies before him.
He moved nimbly left and right, and although he didn't move very often, he was able to block the boulders flying in front of him every time.
Even attacks that he couldn't dodge at his current pace would be deflected by other boulders falling from the sky.
It's just playing with kids...
Ed thought to himself that no matter how strong Adelaide's true form was, this was nothing more than a Low Tier body.
Even if Antiya Lisi is weak, he is still at the Middle Tier, so it's difficult for him not to have the upper hand.
He's not launching an attack right now; in Ed's view, it seems more like he's holding back, wanting to figure out all of his opponent's cards before making a move.
Sure enough, after a back-and-forth exchange lasting for more than ten seconds, Antiya Lisi made a new move.
He raised his right foot and stomped hard, causing ripples to spread across the solid stone floor of the church like water on a lake. Countless dust and fragments from the friction of the stone bricks were kicked up at that moment, reducing the visibility inside the church to less than a meter.
However, the next moment, Adelaide, who should have been deprived of her sight, suddenly emerged from the smoke in a bizarre manner. Her right hand had transformed into a heavy iron birch short sword, carrying wisps of black Corpse Poison at the blade, and she thrust it toward Antiya Lisi.
As long as he can create a wound on the other person's body, even just a break in the skin, he can begin to infect them.
The archbishop seemed surprised by the enemy's ability to pinpoint his location through the smoke, and for a moment he froze, staring blankly as the enemy, enveloped in dust, appeared before him and plunged his short sword into his chest.
Adelaide drew her short sword, only to see Antiya Lisi stagger before her. No blood flowed from the wound; instead, some splinters of wood could be seen at the site of the injury.
In his field of vision, the Antiya Lisi before him had lost its red glow at some point, clearly no longer the real Antiaris but a puppet.
Damn it, when?
At that moment, the same sentence echoed in the minds of Ed, [ Clear Soup Master ], and Adelaide, though the two of them were just joking, while the other was genuinely a little surprised.
Adelaide, enveloped in smoke and dust, began to look around, searching for any trace of Antiya Lisi.
A flash of red light appeared at the edge of his vision. Adelaide looked up and saw Antiya Lisi standing on the second floor of the church, looking down at him through the thick smoke.
Two sharp gazes clashed in the air. In the next instant, the dust on the ground was swept away by the powerful impact, and in the moment her vision cleared, Adelaide saw the enormous clock tower that was about to smash into her face.
